Chapter 333 Someone is making trouble
The crowd suddenly became agitated. Some people who were busy collecting rice didn't know what was happening. Seeing the crowd pressing towards them, they thought someone was trying to steal their things or that the rice would not be distributed anymore, so they immediately shouted and squeezed in.
People outside who didn't know what was going on wanted to squeeze in, while people inside wanted to squeeze out. Amid the hustle and bustle, the entrance of "Beauty House" suddenly became a mess.
Everyone understands the principle of taking advantage of troubled waters.
Xiluo stared intently at the scene, while Yu Qingli's gaze was always on the big man who had just spoken rudely.
Yu Zhengsha is very famous in the imperial capital, and Yu Zhenzhen has always loved to show off and is arrogant and domineering. Everyone in the imperial capital knows her.
Yu Qingli believed that no one in the imperial capital had the courage to offend Yu Zhenzhen like that, not to mention those outsiders who were ignorant of the situation and were always cautious. In addition, after provoking the incident, this big man immediately blended into the crowd and tried to escape. Yu Qingli was even more certain that this big man must have been instructed by someone, and this person was naturally Murong Yuan.
After thinking about it, Yu Qingli sneered. It seemed that Murong Yuan had some brains, but she wanted to hide in the dark and reap the benefits, but she couldn't let her do as she wished.
After thinking about it, Yu Qingli suddenly lifted a corner of the car curtain.
When Murong Yanhui first saw Xiluo in the crowd, his eyes were fixed on the carriage. When Yu Qingli lifted the curtain, she immediately met Murong Yanhui's pair of eyes as bright as gems.
Yu Qingli couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. She felt as if her soul was immersed in that look at that moment. She took a deep breath to calm her mind and glanced at the alley on the side.
Murong Yanhui immediately understood, and with a slight nod of his chin, a figure leaped into the alley next to him.
At the same time, a man suddenly rushed out from the bustling crowd and rushed towards Yu Zhenzhen and Qu Linlang. He was holding a bamboo tube in his hand, and the liquid splashed out while he was running, burning the bluestone floor with a hissing sound.
coming!
Xiluo waved his right hand, and the stone between his fingers flew through the air, passed through the bustling crowd, and hit the man's knee accurately.
With a "puff" sound, the man fell down, and the bamboo tube in his hand fell over. The liquid inside sprayed out, corroding a big hole in the floor in front of the "Beauty Pavilion". The liquid splashed on Yu Zhenzhen's skirt, immediately corroding her gorgeous clothes into pieces, revealing her slender white ankles.
In the chaos, someone immediately started whistling to cheer others on.
Yu Zhenzhen's face flushed red, and she could no longer maintain her ladylike appearance, so she kicked the man away.
"Who are you? How dare you do such a vicious thing in broad daylight?" Yu Zhenzhen was furious, and she felt a lingering fear as she looked at the floor that was still emitting sour and rotten foam.
The man was not hesitant either. As soon as he was kicked to the ground, he immediately jumped up two or three times and squeezed into the crowd to escape.
Murong Yanhui had been watching coldly, but ever since Yu Qingli signaled him, he had been concentrating on paying attention to the movements around him. Now seeing that this vicious trick almost harmed Qu Linlang, he no longer had any hesitation. With just one jump, he picked up the person who was trying to squeeze into the crowd to escape, like a chicken.
Yu Zhenzhen thought that Murong Yanhui took action because of her, and she couldn't help laughing. She unconsciously reached out and touched her cheek, feeling that this time it was really a blessing in disguise.
Seeing that the situation was resolved, Yu Qingli closed the carriage curtain and said, "Xiluo, let's go back."
"Miss, are you leaving before things are over?"
"Well, if Murong Yanhui can't handle the remaining matters, it would be a waste of his title as King of Yan." Yu Qingli said calmly, but the moment when she and Murong Yanhui met eyes just now emerged in her mind again. Her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if that look had been engraved in her bones. Even if she just thought about it, she still couldn't help feeling shocked.
Yu Qingli was frightened by her body's honest reaction, and her mind was suddenly in a mess. She closed her eyes and leaned against the carriage, but she couldn't make sense of anything. She only felt that the memories of Murong Yan, whom she had hated to the core in her previous life, gradually faded away.
Yu Qingli rubbed her brows. She didn't know whether it was good or bad to forget her past life. She could only take it one step at a time.
However, my heart seems to be increasingly out of my control.
Yu Qingli was thinking when the carriage suddenly stopped. She was caught off guard and fell out of the carriage towards the door.
When the carriage curtain was lifted, Yu Qingli clearly saw the disheveled woman leaning against the shaft.
"It's you."
Yu Qingli smiled knowingly and looked at Murong Yuan's panicked eyes. Yu Qingli looked into the distance. There were chaotic footsteps coming from the other end of the alley. It was rare to see so many people rushing over.
Could it be Murong Yanhui?
Several ideas instantly flashed through Yu Qingli's mind. While she was hesitating, several figures appeared at the other end of the alley. Although they were far away, Yu Qingli could still clearly see that those people were dressed in ordinary clothes and were definitely not Murong Yanhui's people. At first glance, they seemed a bit similar to the rude big man.
Yu Qingli understood immediately. It must be Murong Yuan who hired the big man and others to splash lime water on Qu Linlang and Yu Zhenzhen. As a result, the matter was exposed. Murong Yan would catch the big man and others. Judging from Murong Yan's methods, she must have used threats and inducements to force the big man and others to confess Murong Yuan, the mastermind behind the scenes. Therefore, Murong Yuan fled in such a hurry.
While Yu Qingli was thinking, Murong Yuan seemed to have made up her mind. She suddenly pushed Yu Qingli into the car and jumped in herself.
"Miss?!"
Due to Murong Yuan's identity, Xiluo didn't dare to take direct action and could only ask Yu Qingli with an angry face.
Yu Qingli glanced at Murong Yuan's pale face and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go back to the palace."
Xiluo nodded when he heard this, and then lowered the curtain of the car.
Just as the curtain fell, footsteps were heard stopping around the carriage. A man with a gruff voice said, "You, quickly hand over that little bastard! Otherwise, you won't be able to leave here alive today."
Xiluo snorted coldly and asked, "What a big tone! In broad daylight, under the feet of the emperor, is there no law?"
"The king's law?" The big man sneered at the words, "National laws and family rules each have their own way. Now that little hoof has provoked someone from our 'Earth Dragon Gang', even the king of heaven will be subject to our family rules."
"'Earth Dragon Gang'?" Xiluo raised her eyebrows, but the big man thought Xiluo was shocked by him and said with a smile: "Girl, I don't think you are the kind of person who would stir up trouble. That woman owes us an explanation, why are you getting involved in this mess for her?"
The big man's words made Xiluo's heart beat fast. Murong Yuan had always been against Yu Qingli, and now she had disobeyed the order and sneaked out of the palace to harm others. If Yu Qingli did not protect her this time and let her be caught by this damn "Earth Dragon Gang" and made a fool of herself, then wouldn't she be depressed and frustrated from then on, and would never be able to cause any trouble again?
Thinking of this, Xiluo reached out and lifted a corner of the curtain. He looked out from the gap and saw that a crowd of twenty or thirty people had surrounded the carriage tightly.
Murong Yuan's face suddenly turned pale as paper, and she looked at Yu Qingli nervously.
Yu Qingli looked indifferently at the always arrogant princess. Even at this moment, she knew that she was the only one who could save her, but she was still stubborn and refused to ask for help. Somehow, she suddenly felt a trace of pity in her heart. How similar was this stubbornness to herself when her mother died in her previous life?
Yu Qingli was silent for only a moment, but for Murong Yuan, it felt like she had been waiting for a lifetime. She finally couldn't hold back her pride anymore and said, "Let me down!"
Murong Yuan was about to get off the carriage when she spoke. Yu Qingli only glanced at her calmly and said slowly, "Your Highness the Princess is truly a man of character. She's not afraid of the charge of disobeying the emperor's order."
Murong Yuan's hand, which was holding onto the car door frame, trembled. She turned around and looked at Yu Qingli with hatred, saying, "I consider myself unlucky to be stuck here today. If you still want to see me make a fool of myself, you are totally mistaken!"
Murong Yuan seemed to be still unwilling to give up after saying this, and added: "Besides, my father and I are blood relatives, so what if I disobey his order?"
Yu Qingli smiled slightly, "Of course it's nothing, but I heard that His Majesty is having a headache recently about choosing a princess for marriage."
Murong Yuan's face changed again when she heard this. Although she still held her head high in a proud manner, she did not move a step.
Seeing that Murong Yuan no longer objected, Yu Qingli said to Xiluo, "Let's go back to the palace."
Xiluo was full of confusion, but did not refute Yu Qingli and turned around to go out to deal with the mob.
Murong Yuan watched the curtain slowly lowered, and her heart sank. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Yu Qingli finally had time to straighten her clothes that had been messed up, and then handed a handkerchief to Murong Yuan.
Murong Yuan slapped Yu Qingli's hand away, sat down by the door, wiped her cheek with her sleeve, and said stubbornly, "This princess and you have always been at odds. You don't have to save me today. This princess didn't ask you to save me. Don't expect this princess to feel guilty about you."
Yu Qingli smiled faintly, "I don't expect anything in return for my kindness, and besides, it's just a piece of cake."
"I'm glad you know it!" Murong Yuan said coldly, but her eyes softened when she looked at Yu Qingli.
Neither of them spoke. They only heard a commotion outside the carriage. A dozen big men were running away with the screams of ghosts and wolves. Before leaving, the leader made some harsh words, but was whipped by Xiluo with a horsewhip, making him scream and run away as fast as he could, holding his butt.
After venting her feelings, Xiluo felt much better and said cheerfully, "Miss, we are going back to the palace."
Yu Qingli responded and then turned her gaze to Murong Yuan again.
She was no stranger to kicking someone when they were down, but when would revenge ever end? Moreover, Murong Yuan was of noble status, the Queen's favorite princess, and had Murong blood flowing through her veins. Rather than throwing her out here, humiliating her reputation or causing her further punishment by His Majesty, which would not completely crush her and would only make her hate him even more, it would be better to go with the flow and rescue her. Even if that didn't move her, it would at least make her hate him less.
